Simi Valley police arrested a man Tuesday who was allegedly involved in the theft of multiple bicycles belonging to an evacuee of the Thomas Fire, officials said.

David Sheehan, 42, was arrested on suspicion of felony grand theft after he was identified using security footage from a neighbor's home that was shared on Facebook, authorities said.

According to The Simi Valley Police Department, Sheehan allegedly took four bicycles, reportedly worth more than $10,000, in the overnight hours between Dec. 11 and 12 from a pickup that was parked at a residence in the 300 block of Sequoia Avenue.

The bicycles, which had been locked and secured to the pickup, belonged to a Santa Barbara resident who, along with his family, had evacuated from the Thomas Fire, officials said. The family was staying with a relative in Simi Valley until they could return home.

A residence next door to where the victim was staying captured images and video of the suspect, later identified as Sheehan, and posted them on Facebook, officials said.

A Simi Valley police detective identified Sheehan who was contacted and offered the opportunity to return the bicycles and turn himself in, authorities said.

Three of the bicycles were returned on Dec. 14 and Sheehan was given time to produce the fourth bicycle, officials said. The 42-year-old allegedly failed to do so and ceased communication with the Simi Valley detective, authorities said.

Sheehan was located on Tuesday, allegedly hiding in his mother's garage in the 4300 block of Lantern Lane in Moorpark, officials said.

Sheehan was arrested on suspicion of grand theft and was released on bail that same day, authorities said.
